Ms. Martin stated that the administrator, R. Wooten, was not present. I was unaccompanied as I completed a general walk-through of the facility which consisted of four (4) classrooms, the outdoor play areas, and the kitchen. A total of twenty-one (21) children were present during today’s visit. I observed the children participating in free choice play, completing routine care tasks, and having lunch. Today’s lunch was in compliance with the Meal Pattern requirements. LICENSE STATUS: This facility currently operates with a three-star rated license issued April 7, 2022.

During today’s visit, a full assessment of the Child Care Requirements was conducted. I observed all required postings and attendance logs. There are no infants enrolled in this program. So, safe sleep logs were not monitored. I also monitored program requirements, equipment and furnishings, staff/child ratios & supervision, storage and/or administering of medication, and the outdoor area & equipment. I reviewed staff files and a sample of the children’s records. This facility does not provide transportation. The following violations was observed during today's visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 840 All corrosive agents, pesticides, bleaches, detergents, cleansers, polishes, any product which is under pressure in an aerosol dispenser, and any substance which may be hazardous to a child if ingested, inhaled, or handled were not stored in a locked room or cabinet. A storage closet containing cleaning supplies, and aerosol cans of disinfectant spray was observed unlocked during the visit. .2820(b) COMPLIANCE HISTORY: Prior to today’s visit, the 18-month compliance history for this facility was 100%. A compliance verification letter is not required because the violation observed and documented was corrected during the visit. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE/CONSULTATION: As a reminder, fire drills must be conducted monthly, and quarterly lockdown and/or shelter-in-place drills must be conducted every three (3) months. Additionally, documentation of the completed drills must be kept on file for review. CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK PROVIDER PORTAL: As stated in G.S. 110-90.2 & .2703(r) child care operators are to notify the Division of any new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The process of notifying the Division has changed and is now captured in ABCMS. This change has been in effect since February 2024. Effective immediately, you will need to obtain a Business NCID and complete the Provider Portal training in Moodle at https://www.dcdee.moodle.nc.gov/course/view.php?id=119. No action is needed on your part if you have completed the referenced training and are currently using the ABCMS Provider Portal to update information regarding new hires or residents. Once the training has been completed and access has been granted, you must verify your facility roster to ensure current staff are noted on the roster. This information should be updated in ABCMS on an ongoing basis as staff members are hired and when their employment is terminated. This satisfies the requirement to notify the Division of new child care providers working who were hired or moved into the child care facility within five business days. The compliance of this rule will be monitored during your next visit. Please note, the hard copy of the Change of Information form will no longer be needed or accepted.
